Rios-Alvarado is pointless.

[RVABoxer]

Same here, I can't remember exactly but I think I gave him 4 of the 6 rounds. I knew Rios was going to have his say though, regardless of the fact that Alvarado was boxing pretty well. Even if he looks like he's taking a beating, and he does often look bad early on, he's laying that groundwork all the time and eventually he starts to get to the guy. That's one thing you have to give to Rios, even if there isn't much else to grab onto in boxing terms.

I honestly was surprised as hell by the KO I thought Rios was done he looked dead tired to me kinda leaning on Alvarado when they got in close then he KO'd him seemingly out of nowhere just as I was thinking 'well this is the end of Rios' night'

Besides Michael Jordan (shoes) and Bruce Willis (Die Hard), Bob Arum is the best at selling you the same thing over and over.

Truth except for once I got to say something to Bobs credit unlike the other two the quality doesn't always diminish

Well, if it's pointless, we need a lot more pointless fights in boxing. I love pointless fights!

Top Rank fighters are running out of fighters to fight so this is a no-brainer for Arum.

It's also for the WBO strap, if that means anything anyways.

I think I had Alvarado up too before the ko. But the real reason it's happening is because top rank has NO FIGHTERS. Literally no one. Rios Alvarado 3 this fall

Yeah, Arum's stable is crumbling bad.

To be honest though, that's a very, very, very good thing. He has ruined boxing with his bull**** in house fights and refusal to make the real fights and if he wants to play that game, he's going to go down the drain. GBP has the better fighters by far.

They will have to concede to joining up again to make big fights. If not, when Pac and Marquez are done, Arum will be done.

Yea but it should be fun..

Thanks to Alvarado's conditioning..Alvarado was tired and that caused the KO as much as Rios power did..Alvarado better be in far better shape if he hopes to win this against Rios..

Do you also believe there should have never been been a Vazquez-Marquez trilogy and a Gatti-Ward trilogy because it's pointless?

trueeeeeeeeee

[QQQQQQQ]

What doesn't make sense about a rematch to an action packed fight of the year candidate that was pretty even until the stoppage?


I just don't get what you're confused about.

in my opinion its a step backwards for rios. he beat some1 he was SUPPOSED to beat, and now hes fighting him again, why? this fight is only happening because TR is weak as **** at 140.
